MAR 21 1988 Docket No. 50-443 Public Service Company of New Hampshire ATTN: Mr. George S. Thomas Vice President - Nuclear Production P.O. Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874 Gentlemen:

Thank you for your letter dated February 9,1988 (NYN-88015), informing us that the application fee for the October 29, 1987, request relating to relocation of seismic monitors for Seabrook is not deemed applicable by your Company. It was your position that your submittal was not an application for license amendment; NRR review staff did not issue either a license amendment or Technical Specifications, and that the "staff costs for review can be applied through the annual licensing fees."

The NRR review staff have reassessed their fee position for your October 29, 1987 application. Based on this reassessment, it has been determined that this review should be included as a part of the 100% OL review costs. Therefore, your Company should not remit the $150 application fee requested by our letter dated January 15, 1988. The cost for the review of the relocation of seismic monitors will be computed as part of the costs for OL review.

In specific response to your bases for the inapplicability of fees for your October 29 application, we would like to bring the following to your attention. Under the provisions of 10 CFR 170.21.A, fees are applicable for approvals other than those in the fonn of a license amendment. Therefore, any requests for relief from the ASME Code requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a, exemptions from regulation requirements, and requests which culminate in a letter approval such as was issued on December 28, 1987, for the seismic monitors are subject to fees under 10 CFR 170.21.A as "Other Approvals." In addition, staff costs for plant-specific approvals are not a part of the fees being collected as annual fees under 10 CFR 171.

g2%h p P

Public Service Co. MAR 211988 If your Company files applications for license amendments or other approvals that are not specifically related to the 100% OL review (such as ASME Code relief), the $150 application fee should be remitted with each such filing.

Sincerely, digned by:

Rela M. Diggs Reba M. Diggs Facilities Program Coordinator License Fee Management Branch Division of Accounting and Finance Office of Administration and Resources Management Distribution: (TAC 66073)
